Long Travel 302 swap
#152
Just burned up 2 ECUs on the ranger. Not sure what's going on but hope you can shine some light. It's been at the tune shop getting dyno'd and today it just died. Cranks but won't start. No blown fuses. TPS has voltage. Has spark while cranking. No injector pulse and no communication at ODBII port. Went to junkyard bought a new ECU put it in and it fired up. Drove it aorund the block parked it, now it won't start again just cranks. This is the 2nd ECU it has blown. Help? :(

Definitely sounds like you have a loose pin or two in there.
Mine was running pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. I was throwing lean codes and it was having trouble running sometimes at lower RPM. It would choke itself to the point of shutting off on occasion. I finally had some time to check it out last week, and found that the header/exhaust pipe flange bolts had completely backed out on the driver's side, which left about a 1.5" gap between them. I could see the exhaust gas literally igniting as it came through the gap. I'm going to take it to the shop that did the exhaust this weekend and have them fix it.
